American Builders Supply (ABS), an independent supplier of doors, windows and trusses to home builders in Florida, has appointed Ben Phillips to its board of directors. Phillips was most recently the chief operating officer at Fidelity Devonshire Investors, part of Fidelity Capital, the parent company of ProBuild. Before that, he spent several years at ProBuild, serving as executive VP and chief operating officer.

It’s been a tumultuous summer so far for ProBuild, the nation’s largest pro dealer, as it tries to keep its head above a churning housing market that has already pulled apart or capsized many of its competitors. Being a privately held company, ProBuild has done its best to quietly close or sell off yards, downsize staff and add — or subtract — staffing under the radar.
